Everything was running fine locally in my Rails 7 application on Apple M1 macOS Monterey, until I did brew update. Now I am running into issues with vips. I've seen another thread saying I need to run brew install vips, but I am still getting this error:
Could not open library 'vips.42': dlopen(vips.42, 0x0005): tried: 'vips.42' (no such file),
'/usr/local/lib/vips.42' (no such file),
'/usr/lib/vips.42' (no such file)
When I run vips -v I get this error:
dyld[18235]: Library not loaded: '@@HOMEBREW_PREFIX@@/opt/libpng/lib/libpng16.16.dylib'
Referenced from: '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/freetype/2.12.1/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib'
Reason: tried: '/usr/local/lib/libpng16.16.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libpng16.16.dylib' (no such file)
Thanks in advance for any help.
On m1, homebrew puts binaries in /opt/homebrew/lib and older versions of the ffi gem don't look there. If you update to ffi 1.15.3+ it will.
